These are actually quite powerful. With the 2.7% dodge (factoring in the agility) they can defend themselves as tanking shoes in raid zones.

Although the stam is a bit low (10-20 below par) the dodge makes up for it. dimishing returns on armor make it acceptable to have these instead of Tier 1 or 2. By Dreadnaught, though, it's time to put away the ZF level loot.

Like stated, an excellent tanking item. However, as a warrior one thing I pride on is to beat other warriors in pvp. Dodge = Overpower. Not a good choice for warrior vs. warrior battles, but don't tell that to your warrior friends :).

Actually on the contrary... =) I'd rather have a ton of dodge, who cares if they get an overpower with a cooldown of 5 seconds.. if that's all they can hit me with they're screwed. It's like vs. a rogue in a duel, of course he's gonna evasion.. you may get an overpower, but nothing else.

I got these off a drop in ZF, I won them cause I was the only plate wearer I decided to equip. them. I have noticed that I dodge a lot more than before.

Yea they exist i had them drop in ST not in the instance but no one will buy i play on scilla server character named whywontudie btw how much should isell for i said 60 and here the buyout is 100g and no one will buy i had a guy say they were only worth 6g and he offered me 10g

Comment by Zedd

i got them off a slimy maggot in Sunken Temple.

Didnt see it on the list of guys that dropped this money maker but I got it off a primitive owl beast in the Hinterlands. Wasn't looking for it but was very happy to find it. Unless you are a twink, I wouldn't waste your time using it for you or anyone else... sell it and get the cold hard cash! Warriors don't dodge we take our beating and like it!

I got these off a Greater Lava Spider in Searing Gorge. Can't wear them so idk I think im gonna sell, any suggestions on price?

Comment by ivanmex

Theese boots are great.On level 40 they give me 4.40% Dodge!

Comment by mnbvcxza

i got mine at lvl 40 8), and i still have them at 52.

Comment by Erethzium

Easily the best boots for any tanking class at the level. I got a pair on the AH for 100g, and at level 47, it increased my Dodge by about 2 to 2.50 percent. Not to mention gave me a lot more Health over the green boots I was wearing :P

Comment by Bargetrix

i also received a pair for 100g... quite cheap actually (that buyout price is clearly wrong). I am a ret pally lvl 41 that has been having difficulty switching to the two-hander. The defensive capabilities of these boots were the exact incentive I needed.

It's really rather amazing to go back and look at the gap in itemization involved in legacy gear. For example, many people coveted the old Battlegear of Valor set, when in reality items like these boots and the Ornate Adamantium Breastplate were on a completely different tier for any warrior who was serious about becoming a real tank.

For many a guild MT these boots were a vital stepping stone before moving on to bigger and better things.

Comment by Tankazoid

Dropped For Me While Killing Southsea Pirates

Comment by Erethzium

Bought these for 150g off the AH, used them up until level 62 or so. Solid tanking boots.

Comment by nykion

Looking to buy these Burning Legion realm offering 1k

Comment by Clueless1

wow i just got a pair today, pity im on jubei'thos nykion

Comment by onad

As of later today, when 4.2 drops, expect slightly less avoidance from the boots of avoidance. Taken from the 4.2 patch notes:

Death knights, paladins, and warriors no longer receive any bonus to their chance to dodge from Agility. Their base chance to dodge is now a fixed 5%.

Comment by deangelis3

Got these about an hour ago working on my Lore master. Keal'thas. Selling them for 1k lol

Comment by DruidJoakim

These boots use the aqua (officially "Blue") version of the "D5 Plate" artwork.

There are three other colours of this set in the artwork database and two of them, "Gold" and "Silver", are available in the game in a significant number of pieces. However the chests are sadly unavailable for both:

Gold:

Head, Shoulders:none, artwork for these pieces actually doesn't exist in the database

Together they look like this.In addition there's a version of the gloves that use the same artwork and colour, but look rather different. They use the sleeve artwork for the top of the gloves: Heretic's Gauntlets.

Silver:

Head, Shoulders:none, artwork for these pieces actually doesn't exist in the database

Chest:artwork exists but it's sadly not available in the game :(

Wrists:artwork exists but it's not available in the game.. They'd be hidden anyway.
